Injury

Likewise, Jared Spurgeon has a bruised rib and Justin Falk will play in his place.

Just a precautionary measure as the Wild want their young, puck-moving d-man healthy. Last season, Spurgeon scored four goals and 12 points through 53 games including six on the PP. Expect his playing time to increase in his sophomore season.

Line Change

"He doesn't play like a sophomore," said rookie coach Mike Yeo, victorious in his debut, which is not too shabby considering the Wild went winless last preseason. "He plays like a guy that's played in the league for eight years."

In 53 games, Spurgeon posted six power play points. With Brent Burns now in San Jose, the 21-year-old should see even more offensive minutes from the blue line.
